Los Angeles

I was more than satisfied with my decision to join Angie and Michael for a recent workshop in Chicago.  The experience immensely improved my approach to architectural photography and cityscapes by enabling me to refine technical skills and learn to 'see' architecture in a more creative way.  These outcomes reflect the considerable time and effort they both spend with participants, not only during the actual workshop, but in pre and post-workshop presentations and individual critique sessions too.  It was also evident that much time and effort had been spent sourcing locations that challenge technical and creative skills.  The workshop was carefully planned and organized to optimize time at various locations, and both Angie and Michael willingly shared their considerable knowledge in a clear and professional manner. Plus, the workshop was also a lot of fun; Angie and Michael are two of the nicest people you would meet.  I am determined to join them again in the near future. 

I have done a couple of Angie and Michael’s workshops and I really like the way they have structured them. The online meetings before and after the workshop are very informative and insightful, plus it extends the whole experience to about a month of interaction. Angie and Michael do a great job supervising the day by getting us to the different locations and offering different perspectives on photographing the architecture. I’m a hobbyist at best, and these workshops have helped me immensely with my composition as well as my post-processing skills. Plus, they are really fun!

"I took part in the Los Angeles workshop and though I am a local, saw the city anew with fresh perspectives provided by Angie, Michael, and the other participants.  Angie and Michael bring proven track records of success and accomplishments and share their processes, viewpoints and advice openly. They check-in with you, provide assistance and help guide your photographic vision. It was an honor to learn from them and to meet like-minded photographers from around the country."

Angie and Michael combine their extensive knowledge of architecture photography, along with thoroughly scouted locations, to provide a superior workshop experience! Their web meetings, both before and after the workshop, make them the preferred choice for a serious architectural photography experience. My time with them in both Miami and Los Angeles was productive and enjoyable. I plan on visiting Toronto and New York to benefit from their instruction and location knowledge.

I had such a great time at the Paris workshop! As a relatively inexperienced photographer, I was made comfortable from the start and benefited enormously from Michael’s and Angie’s guidance and advice. Their careful choice of sites proved a fantastic opportunity to train the eye and try new things in a variety of settings. There was a great balance of support and space to experiment, and further opportunities to develop through the post-workshop online sessions (editing and critique). The great thing is that I feel I have kept learning ever since!

“I attended the Paris workshop, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.  I’ve struggled with architecture photography in the past, but Michael and Angie helped me approach my pictures in a different way.  They provided just the right amount of hands-on instruction while still enabling us to explore and capture each location as we wanted.  They also meticulously planned the workshop schedule in such an efficient way.  We saw so much of Paris, but never felt rushed.  I left the trip with pictures I’m very happy with, and I am looking forward to attending another workshop soon!” 

“I love going on camera trips with Angie and Michael. They are very accomplished photographers in their own right and I like to look at the same things with my camera as they do! They are always well organized - we can devote ourselves to image-making and not have to think about how to get from place to place and when to be there by - it is all part of their wonderful planning. They provide just the right amount of coaching and critique - just what you need when you want it. I’m looking forward to the next trip in 2019.”

These are such fun workshops! Angie and Michael have a clear plan and are able to keep the group on track throughout the day, plus they're knowledgeable on each building and its architect. I've attended two workshops with them, and, rain or shine, was able to get pictures that I was proud of. I loved the balance of architectural abstracts and cityscapes, and the pre, post and critique sessions are an added bonus!

“If you want a workshop with the perfect balance of camera techniques and compositional advice...this is the workshop for you. Plus Michael and Angie are the nicest people! Can't wait for my next workshop...New York City!”

“I very much enjoyed the LA workshop with Michael and Angie, it was great to explore and see my own home town in a new way, visiting locations I had not yet discovered myself. Michael and Angie generously shared their expertise, tips, and techniques all day throughout the workshop, and were always available for questions and helping out the students get the shot they wanted. They were both fully dedicated to ensuring all the participants were happy and having a great time, and that everyone walked away with a little more skill than they started with. I look forward to attending another great workshop with them soon!"

“As I look at my photographic work over the last year, I recognize that some of my best shots have come from the days I have spent with Michael and Angie. I’ve been with them in three different cities, and each time my work has taken significant strides forward. I won’t hesitate at all to sign up for future workshops because there is one thing I’ve learned from the photographic journey is that we learn best by being around the best and Angie and Michael fit that description.”

“Angie and Michael lead the most value-added workshops that I have ever attended. Not only do they provide pre and post review sessions, with a separate critique of participants’ work after the workshop, but their workshops are very well planned, providing a diverse and interesting selection of architecture and cityscapes; something for everybody! Both are very generous sharing their knowledge and helping each participant when needed, which is why I am really looking forward to attending my 4th workshop with them.”
